ooo this is hard!! they’re so different you know, being scripted vs being an actual play? they’re both a really good mix of being funny and absolutely ripping my heart out in the next moment too ooo boy. and they both have such wonderful characters!! it’s like comparing apples and oranges I guess? that’s the saying right? both very good & nutrient rich, but hard to compare.
I'll gladly help you procrastinate! For the character ask, Ayda Aguefort, Pete the Plug, and First of her Name, Sovereign Ruler of Candia and the Sugarlands, Witch-Queen of the Dairy Sea, High Priestess of the Sweetening Path, Archmage of Lost Sucrosia, Enemy of the Faith, The Sundae Sorceress, Storm-Captain of the Frosted Fleet, Queen Saccharina of House Frostwhip.
oh gosh this got LONG kldsaljda ty for the ask friend! sorry for the weird formatting i had to copy it from the notes app because i didn’t trust tumblr not to randomly delete it while i was typing
Ayda
Why I like them- goodness gracious why do I love Ayda? Best best best girl. She wants friends desperately but she has a hard time but she doesn’t try to change herself to do it? And she is just,, so brilliant and Wonderfull and she makes me very emotional. Fun fact, there’s a video on YouTube that’s just all of her appearances, and I started watching that when I couldn’t get access to dropout because I was so intrigued about what I saw on Tumblr! And she’s like 60% of the reason I got dropout
* Why I don’t- BEST GIRL.
* Favorite episode (scene if movie)- I mean the figayda first kiss and everything that preceded it was GOLD. Also the scene where adaine asks if she wants to hold boggy. What an angel.
* Favorite season/movie- sophomore year obviously! Can’t wait for more content with her as time goes on!
* Favorite line- “NOOO IT’S TOO CUTE!” And “if i was you, i wouldn’t want to be anyone else” “I too am a low quality child”
* Favorite outfit- the sweater she’s wearing in the full version of my icon because its says “reading is lit” and I love the pun sm! you know one of the bad kids would get it for her! https://rabdoidal.tumblr.com/post/190876580075/baby-youre-hands-down-the-best-thing-about-me-and
* OTP- Fig!! They’re such a good balance for each other! Fig is always trying to be other people, but around Ayda she’s growing into herself more! And Ayda learning from fig too, getting out of her comfort zone and GAH I LOVE THEM. IN THE WORDS OF LOU WILSON I BLESS THIS UNION
* Brotp- Adaine! Gorgug! And Cheese of course!
* Head Canon- I have no idea how junior year is gonna go, but I can see her spending time at Aguefort trying to talk more with her dad and see her friends since she doesn’t really know anyone else in Elmville? And she will slowly and accidentally take over their school library and anyone taking wizard classes will totally come to her for advice! Let Ayda have all the friends okay.
* Unpopular opinion- I talked about this in a different ask but her cameo in pirol felt just a bit out of place? Like if I hadn’t seen fhsy it would’ve really thrown me off and it kinda messed with the standalone nature of the season. That being said I LOVED that scene!! i want more of her and cheese being friends!
* A wish- idc how unrealistic it may be, fig and ayda will be high school sweethearts dang it! I think they’ll have their struggles for sure, but that’s endgame baby!
* An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen- if brennan hurts her I WILL be meeting him in the denny’s parking lot, no mercy
* 5 words to best describe them- brilliant, radiant, outstanding, show-stopping, resplendent
* My nickname for them- best girl!!
Pete the Plug
Why I like them- my boy is really trying his best!! The voice of the dreams, who finds a home and people who love and respect and support him, who stares down the dream and asks to see its true form.
Why I don’t- I love him your honor!
Favorite episode (scene if movie)- yo I bingewatched this season so fast my memory is badddd so I’m not sure!
Favorite line: my memory is such garbage man!! Idk!! I just looked through his Tumblr tag and that one line in the coffee shop where he asks where the crying booth is is GOLD
Favorite outfit- cowboy hat KING
OTP- I am not immune to the Pete/ricky/ester/Sofia polycule,,
Brotp- Kingston!! they had a rough patch, but I love the way they grow to understand and care for each other! And also Nod ofc, their scenes were my favorite!
Head Canon: he pops up at the hospital to grab lunch with Kingston and the other nurses are just like “Kingston your boy is here” and no one corrects them
Unpopular opinion: I’m not sure tbh? I have trouble with these cause I’m not sure what the popular opinions are
A wish- someone get that boy a sweater. Its New York in December he’s gonna FREEZE he needs a COAT
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen- no more toxic relationships! Let him thrive!
5 words to best describe them- unpredictable, wild, wonderful, passionate, reckless
My nickname for them- not a nickname but occasionaly i will see fanart and just go KING in my head. love that vox fantasma
QUEEN SACCHARINA
* Why I like them: it’s illegal for me not to fall in love with Emily’s PCs. Her backstory absolutely wrecked me! She’s trying so hard, she was without a family for so long and she found a family and then she was finally reunited with her blood family and it was weird and complicated and FCK she’s so good
* Why I don’t- Emily axford does no wrong
* Favorite episode (scene if movie)- finale! Holy shit that finale! (Also for scene, that first round of combat where she thunder steps and saves Joren. Holy fcking moly.)
* Favorite line: god it hurt me DEEPLY, but I can’t stop thinking about “you can be my sister or my queen, but you can’t be both” “then I choose to be your queen”
Favorite outfit- anything as long as she has a CROWN dang it
OTP- a loving home where she can spread magic and have PEACE
Brotp- Theo!! Axmurph were killing me this season!
Head Canon- one of the ways she bonds with her family is taking them on rides on Cinnamon! That feeling of freedom, of magic; it helps them understand her better, and it shows that they trust her. The first time Ruby goes flying with her, she tells her to hang on so they can do something cool, and Ruby instinctually wraps her arms around Saccharina. It’s the first time they hug. They don’t mention it, but they both get a little misty eyed.
Unpopular opinion- I really wanted a scene where she asked about Jet. She’s spent so long wanting a family, just to find out once again the church had taken the chance from her. i have some,, personal feelings about what that would be like and I really wish that her feelings about that had been explored a little more
A wish: oh let her be happy PLEASE. Her family may have gotten off on the wrong foot, but those bonds WILL grow
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen- if we had gotten the bad ending of them turning on each other,, oh god
5 words to best describe them- fierce, magical, powerful, resilient, strong
My nickname for them- I just love the nickname Rina for her!!
- makin playlists! is it really a hyperfixation if I don’t have at least One character or group playlist?
- reading! (books or fanfics, although I haven’t finished a novel in Months and my goodreads goal is staring me down)
- knitting! I’m still very new but it gives me something to do with my hands while listening to podcasts that *isnt* staring at my phone, and I appreciate that
- is fashion a hobby? I like putting outfits together. im not very good but I try. also I feel like making moodboards fits under this. I can’t do Art™️ but I can put things together so that they look nice.
- baking! I want to do it more! I’ve made some basic stuff but if there’s one thing I can do is follow a recipe! as long as it’s well written and doesn’t forget to mention details so you don’t make an overly sweet Oreo disaster tiramisu
i did not watch a single episode of the final season so this is all based on before that! and i haven’t rewatched in a minute
favorite thing about them: her growth! from our outcast alone in the world to a woman with so much love and family and AH!! i think luisa’s goodbye post to her on instagram said it best.
least favorite thing about them: i cant think of it rn!
favorite line: “you know you can correct your defects here” “i would if i had any“ BEST GIRL
brOTP: spacekru! i’m so glad she was able to find a family that loved and supported her AH
OTP: murphy AND raven. give me these three as a polycule pls. they’ve all got 2 hands. i just love them all and i want them all to be happy and together okay?
nOTP: again i don’t really know any other ships for her that are going around? so n/a
random headcanon: i have to imagine that with no light pollution, the night sky in t100 was super clear and the stars were endless at night. i like to hc she used to make up her own constellations as a kid, and her favorite star she used to orient herself was the brightest one she could see (which was actually just the ark!)
unpopular opinion: i don’t even think this is unpopular, but fck luisa deserved a spot in the opening, more than anyone else who was added after the first few seasons. she was an OG and she deserved series regular status!
song i associate with them: i just saw an edit of her to the song no roots and i think that very much fits her in the early seasons pre-spacekru!
OO BOY HERE WE GO!! AHHH!! (read more time! also i tried to avoid spoilers cause idk how far along you are rn!)
favorite thing about them: everything??i love how she loves so much and so deeply, and BELIEVES in them and won’t give up on them? i relate to hardwon surefoot because i too worship this woman. oh gosh i don’t want to spoil later eps for you oh goodness i am going to try and be careful
least favorite thing about them: AGAIN, SPOILERS. okay being as vague as possible, i love her selflessness but sometimes i just want to hold her and be like LET OTHER PEOPLE TAKE CARE OF YOU AND HELP YOU TOO MY LOVE.
favorite line: oh there are so many. emily axford is a genius. my mind is blanking i shouldve written down more. going through my liveblog tag, “You know the biggest Transformer of all? Motherhood.” in context it made me CACKLE. also “A child has a duty to his father, but a hero has a duty to the world” AGH i love her good lord
brOTP: BEV BEV BEV, i adore their friendship so much,,. there are so many points in the last few arcs where bev comes to her for advice and i lost it every time they’re just so sweet and GOSH. also pawpaw obviously,, the scene where we get to see their first meeting BROKE me it was so fcking sweet
OTP: it’s common knowledge im a sucker for hardshine right? like i could get them as platonic too but i’ve got a whole ship playlist & a note in my phone of my favorite moments of theirs sO
nOTP: uhhhh balnor ig?? even though thats really only ever a goof. i’m chill with the other ships for her i’ve seen!
random headcanon: since she only sleeps four hours, if she ever notices any of the others having a nightmare when she’s awake she’ll hum/sing to them via rapport spores until they start resting soundly again
unpopular opinion: idk if i have any?
song i associate with them: ive got a whole playlist! favorite on there rn for her is probably woodland! i gotta add more to it tbh. (ALSO EL! if you do check out the playlist i do recomend skipping One Big Bed until the finale!! no major spoilers in the lyrics but hearing it for the first time at the end of the last ep made me weep it was just beautiful trust me!!)
Kuron: Would you want a clone of yourself? Why?Part of me says yes because we could take turns doing shit like going to class or stuff like that but it would probably get way too complicated? So nah
Alfor: What is your best friend like?She’s a meme but she’s my meme ya know? Lol but honestly, she’s hard to put into words. She’s so passionate and intelligent and talented it’s insane?? She’s not the perfect person but she’s the perfect person to me. ✨
